{{Quote|Once a small blooming flower native to the floating kingdom of {{color|orange|Floralia}}, Flowery Woods has become hostile and {{color|orange|overgrown}} due to the magic of Dedede's mysterious kidnapper, {{color|orange|Taranza}}.

'''Flowery Woods''' is a boss in ''[[Kirby: Triple Deluxe]]''. It bears a strikingly similar appearance to [[Whispy Woods]], only with a green trunk at the base of which flowers bloom, a small flower blooming from the tip of its nose, and large, razor-sharp blossoms blooming from star-shaped clusters of smaller flowers that replace the expected apples and leaves, respectively. Flowery Woods is the boss of ''Triple Deluxe''<nowiki>'s</nowiki> first Level, [[Fine Fields]], and it is also battled in [[The Arena#Triple Deluxe|The Arena]] and in Stage 4 of [[Royal Road]].

==Battle==
{{quote|Today I would like to introduce Flowery Woods, the boss of Level 1: Fine Fields. This boss starts out as just a single flower blooming in the field. However, when Taranza casts a spell on it, it turns into Flowery Woods. After losing all its grace as a little flower, Flowery Woods not only attacks Kirby with large seeds and air shots, but jumps into the background and attacks from afar with long vines. Make sure you check out the flower’s transformation scene into Flowery Woods – it’s quite a sight!|[[Satoshi Ishida]], [[Miiverse]] post on 06/16/2014 9:20 AM}}
Flowery Woods starts off with only two attacks, and the battle is markedly similar to the one with [[Whispy Woods]] in the early games. Once Flowery is down to half-health however, it jumps into the background and unleashes a great deal of new attacks, much more than Whispy had, even in ''[[Kirby's Return to Dream Land]]''.

When re-fought in Royal Road, it may also perform its Stomp Jump before the second phase.

The following lists all of Flowery Woods' attacks in Story Mode and [[The Arena]] in ''Kirby: Triple Deluxe''. Attack names are from official Japanese strategy guides.

Flowery Woods then finishes by creating two giant roots that slam down on the left and right edges of the stage, then move together in an attempt to squish anything in the middle. The roots can be attacked to deal damage.}}
|-
| '''ジャンププレス'''<br>''Stomp Jump''
| {{center|From the background, Flowery uproots and jumps into the air, then moves into the foreground, grows somewhat in size, and attempts to stomp Kirby. This creates stars on both sides of the tree on impact. Flowery Woods may attempt multiple jumps in one go. It may combine a Stomp Jump that homes in on Kirby's positioning before following up with a "Growth Route" attack or spitting out some "Air Bullets."}}
|-
| '''フラワーブーメラン'''<br>''Flower Boomerang''
| {{center|While in the background, Flowery Woods sends its four blossoms out as spinning rotary blades that move into the foreground. These can be inhaled and spat back at Flowery Woods, or swallowed for the [[Cutter]] Ability.}}
|}

Whenever Flowery Woods is in the background, it cannot be damaged directly. However, Kirby can attack its roots (in any of their forms) whenever they are present in the foreground, which damages the boss as if it were being hit directly. Objects that can be inhaled and spat out at Flowery Woods (or its roots) in the second phase of battle are the pollen boulders, the razor-sharp blossoms themselves (which can instead be swallowed to gain the [[Cutter]] ability), and the [[Dropped Star|Star]]s that appear following the majority of Flowery Woods' attacks.

When defeated, Flowery Woods flies into the air and bounces around before landing on the platform from Phase 2, which slants, with Flowery sliding down. It then sheds a single tear much like how its original counterpart does when defeated.

A more powerful version of this boss, '''Flowery Woods DX''', is battled at the end of Lv. 1 of [[Dededetour!]] and in [[The True Arena#Triple Deluxe|The True Arena]]. Flowery Woods DX is generally darker than the first Flowery Woods, with a dark red trunk, purple roots, and green leaves, looking more like [[Whispy Woods]] as a result of these color changes. The large clumps of leaves are now more diamond shaped, instead of stars, and the flowers on Flowery Woods DX's trunk and treetop have pointed petals, instead of the curved ones of the previous incarnation.

In [[Dededetour!]], [[King Dedede]] trips before Flowery Woods DX, starting the fight.

The following lists all attacks and what enhancements they got in comparison to their normal counterparts. Attack names are from official Japanese strategy guides.

==Trivia==
*According to Flowery Woods DX's pause-screen description, Flowery Woods' relation to Whispy Woods is unknown. It is interesting to note that while Whispy has lived in Dream Land for a long time, Flowery Woods is merely an ordinary flower in [[Floralia]], the kingdom in Dream Land's sky, until [[Taranza]] uses his magic during the events of ''[[Kirby: Triple Deluxe]]'' to turn it into the monster that Kirby faces.
*Flowery Woods makes a brief appearance in Stage 5 of [[Royal Road]], fighting the same way it did back in Fine Fields' boss stage. Unfortunately for it, however, Kirby is in possession of the [[Hypernova]] ability, and Flowery is sucked in (along with its health bar) in one fell swoop.
**This technically makes it the only boss in the series that Kirby can inhale when fighting it.
